The examples below are just some of the issues that help make the point. • The average home has over £2000 of items in the garage... ...What’s in yours? • As front doors become more secure, an increasing target for break-ins is the garage door. • As many as 1 in 10 of burglaries are through a garage. • Once a burglar is in your garage, can they enter your home through a connecting door? Secured by Design products are independently tested and certified to the Police Preferred Specification and are part of an initiative to “Design out Crime”. Garage Door Systems’ Sentinel DuraTherm sectional garage door is certified to the Secured by Design standard and is providing customers with the ideal solution for garage security.
